I've seen this on other blogs that i've been on & think WOYWW is a great idea , everyone sharing the lastest project they are working on & a great way to get some new idea's.
So this is what i have on my desk ,

I'm altering two large match boxes for swaps that i've joined.

Carrot Cake

Decided to make carrot cake today, this recipe i've been using for the last 23yrs
Ingredients
225g Butter,
50g Caster Sugar,
4 Eggs,
175g Self-raising Wholemeal Flour,
125g Plain flour,
2x5ml spoon Cinnamon,
1x5ml Bicarbonate of soda,
3 large carrots, peeled & grated.

Preheat oven to Gas No4 ,180 degC, 350 deg F.

Mix butter & caster sugar in a bowl, then add the eggs.  Add the rest of the ingredients & mix well.
Grease & line the bottom of an 8inch cake tin,

Put the mixer into the lined cake tin & smooth over the top. Place in the centre of the oven for 50-60 mins.

When the cake is cooked leave to cool a little before turnning out onto a wire rack to cool.

8X8 LO

My latest Lo of our lovely Grandson .  This duck was made by my lovely father inlaw quite a years ago for our son 1st birthday. It was then passed on to my husbands 2 nieces on the understanding that when they had out grown playing with the duck, it was to be given back to me.  Sadly the duck spent many dark years in our loft until our grandson was born. It took me a while to get it rubbed down & to give it a much needed new coat of paint & handle. The happy ending to this little tale is my father inlaw is so happy to see the Duck being used once again & the fun our grandson is having playing on it.
